"If we take our Lady's hand, she will make us realize more fully that all men are our brothers -- because we are all sons of that God whose daughter, spouse, and mother she is. Our neighbors' problems must be our problems. Christian fraternity should be something very deep in the soul, so that we are indifferent to no one. Mary, who brought up Jesus and accompanied him through his life and is now beside him in heaven, will help us recognize Jesus as he crosses our path and makes himself present to us in the needs of others."

Amen, amen, I say to you..., I am the living bread that has come down from heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. (John 6:47-51)

Reflection: It is through Mary that we are able to eat the Bread of Heaven every day.
Through her intercession, God inspires us to receive this Bread and confers on us the grace to receive it worthily.
St. Peter Damian

Prayer: O Mary, you are our Lady of the Eucharist. Help me to participate fully in the Mass as often as possible and receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of your Son Jesus, in Holy Communion.
